8. Shorts – Everyone needs a good pair of shorts, this year boyish shorts are becoming more popular then the shorty shorts.

7. Wedges – Wedges are great and they look great with everything, especially the cork bottom one, they give you a more summery look but still dress you up.

6. Bright Bag – Now a bright handbag is a must because you won’t want to carry a beach bag everywhere you go, so this is perfect for a change and going out on the town. Just Jane Boutique recommends Melie Bianco’s Joanne in any of the bright colors.

Spring Break Bliss

Alicia Edwards — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 21:43:02 +0000

Spring break is all about being comfortable and stylish. The easiest way I’ve found for achieving both of these important factors is to layer my outfits and carry big handbag. My favorite way to layer in the spring/summer is to pull on a sundress or shorts and tee over my swimsuit. I always remember to carry a light jacket with me since it’s still spring and the weather can change from hot to chilly in a heartbeat. At t the beach I put my extra clothes in my beach bag instead of letting them hit the ground. Sand does not make a good accessory. One of my favorite handbags for the beach is Allison from Melie Bianco, I can carry my extra clothes, jewelry and whatever else I might need for the day.

A few other handbags that keep the comfortable spring look but can be carried all the time are the Hibiscus Tote and Cassandra from Big Buddha. They’re bright and fresh but stylish enough for any and all seasons.

Get To Know Neon

Alicia Edwards — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 21:13:46 +0000

Light up the night with your bright fashion! This season is all about bright colors that make you feel alive. Neon’s are coming back strong! So the next time you shop, take a chance on that bright green dress or buy those hot pink shoes! Be daring and take a route you might usually not travel; dive into the ocean of bright colors and splash around!

If committing to a bright wardrobe is too much for you, test the waters by sporting neon nails or carrying a bright handbag! Neon colors are great for nighttime fashion, letting you shine against the dark sky and shadow.

Another great way to incorporate your favorite neon is to dress in neutrals and spice it up here and there with something bright: a ring, hair tie, lipstick, pumps, or a handbag! One of the best accessories a girl can have is an unforgettable handbag. Why not have one in a bright color that will make a statement? Melie Bianco’s Spring neon handbag, Delia, comes in 3 rich colors: pink, orange, and yellow. Visit us at justjaneboutique.com and put together your Spring and Summer fashions!

Chicboom

Alicia Edwards — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 21:21:34 +0000

This summer take the party with you! Never again be seen without your favorite tunes playing loud enough for everyone to hear. ChicBoom is a bite sized speaker that’s compatible with your mp3 players, iPods, iPhones, laptops and more! It’s a perfect size to just toss in your purse and have when you’re on the go. They come in fashionable colors and animal prints so your music can look its best as well. While it may be small it has a massive sound with a 2 watt amplified speaker. It also has a keychain attachment so you can hook it right on your keys.

Looking for something a little more edgy but still craving that wild sound? ChicBoom has a brother called RockBoom and he packs a punch! The RockBoom is just as small and loud as the ChicBoom and comes in two Rock-n-Roll colors. With these awesome little speakers in your pocket you can party up to four hours with distortion-free sound. With a rechargeable battery it’s as simple as a plug into the wall and the party is ready to rock again.

This is a great miniature speaker to keep you and your friends entertained anywhere! Some of our Just Jane fans use them at swim meets, on the playground with their kids, and lounging by the pool! This season grab your ChicBoom or RockBoom and bring the party wherever you go!

Let Your Handbag Do The Talking

Alicia Edwards — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 23:13:27 +0000

Natural beauty is an up and coming style. Why hide yourself behind all that jewelry and make up when you could be just as gorgeous in a t-shirt and jeans and an accessory to POP? An incredible handbag is just the way! Forget an overdone outfit and try a pair of high-waist light-wash jeans and a tucked white t-shirt. With this simple and easy style you can go from day to night effortlessly and allow your accessory of choice to truly stand out.

When choosing a handbag with a minimalist outfit, ANYTHING GOES! This season, carry your favorite brights and neons for a stunning burst of color! Neutral outfits are a great way to show off a structured handbag as well!

While keeping it neutral in the clothing and bright in the handbag, add earth-tone jewelry like a simple gold chain and wooden bracelet. You can further accentuate your natural look with simple makeup colors like soft pinks, browns, and bronzes. Complete the look with simply styled hair, and natural nails.

Show off your natural beauty in a minimalist style and let your handbag express itself!

Orange – What’s Your Shade?

Alicia Edwards — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 22:25:59 +0000

Ladies, designers say that orange is the new black! Clean out that dark colored closet and bring in the spring with some bright orange! You can find orange everywhere in fashion right now, it has taken over the runways and looks smashing in storefronts such as J. Crew and H & M. From lights to darks and everything in between, you can guarantee that everyone will be donning their orange frocks. Tangerine, clementine, habanera, melon, peach, and carrot are just a few of the warm shades of orange this season. Be sure to glance at your tag and take note of the flavor you’re rocking!

Orange has been popular many times over the years, mainly in the 20s, 60s and 80s. Lucky us, it’s back again!

Though you shouldn’t wear an entire outfit made of orange there are many different ways to accessorize and wear orange. Besides the basic tops and bottoms, it’s important to accessorize with handbags, scarves, jewelry, and makeup.

When wearing shades of orange, a good practice is to use it as an accent to any of the neutrals. My favorite neutral for an orange bag is white and khaki, although blues and purples can make an orange really pop. Think about the other colors and accessories you pair with your orange and you’ll see how simple it is to go from a day look to a night look. Change into a pair of black jeans and an orange top for the day; grab your heels and throw on a chunky necklace for a night on the town.

So this season brighten up your look with a handbag or accessory in whatever shade of orange you love!

Bold Prints Make a Statement this Spring!

Alicia Edwards — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 21:03:20 +0000

Bold, bold, bold, and more bold! Bold prints seem to be popping up everywhere! Even though it may not be spring just yet it is around the corner and everyone is getting spring fever and debuting their positive patterns. With bright colors and abstract shapes anyone can become a fashion guru.

Our latest taste of the fashion trend concerning our lovely bold patterns has turned out to be layering one pattern on another and accessorizing with shoes, bags and jewelry just as crazy. The more you pattern the more you shine! Take our model on the right, she is heading down the runway in a pink polka dotted skirt, a yellow shirt with a geometric pattern and bright green tights, yet it looks fabulous; and so will you.

This season think about picking up a couple of go to items like a pair of shoes, or a handbag that will go with anything and everything you happen to wear. That way no matter what you’re wearing if it’s a patterned themed outfit or not you’ll always have that pop, not to mention a great look. So don’t be afraid to wear your blue shirt with your orange skirt and carry that pink bag. Big, beautiful and bold is what it’s all about.

But why stop there? Along with your outfit and accessories, think about trying some bright colors elsewhere. Shiny red nails or aqua blue eyeliner can complete a look and make those eyes really pop. You could also think about trying a piece of big jewelry like a collar necklace or some bright colored mismatched bangles.

This season go out there and be as bold as you can be. Draw some attention, turn some heads and be beautiful!

The Chic Backpack!

Vanessa — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 21:18:44 +0000

School may have just started again, but the kids aren’t the only ones who will be rocking backpacks this fall! There is a new trend to look out for; The chic backpack! Although the backpack purse was a hit in the 1990’s, we haven’t seen much of them since then…until now. They slowly began popping up at the beginning of this summer and now with fall trends in full swing, many fashion designers including Prada, Louis Vuitton, Coach and Tumi have a backpack purse in their line and celebrities have been sporting them as well!
For those of you who are still skeptical, just check take a look a look at this rustic looking leather rucksack with its accenting antler closure (Right) and tell me that a backpack can’t look hot!

Fashion aside, what’s not to love about them? They come in all shapes and styles, are spacious and above all, comfortable to carry! While large totes can be hard on the neck and shoulders and tiny bags can often be cute but impractical, a chic backpack can provide the best of both worlds and still allow for hands free movement! The key to keeping your backpack look from looking too outdated is simply to select a bag with a modern shape and material that expresses your individual style.

If you aren’t quite ready to dump your handbag for a chic backpack or if you’re afraid they’ll go out of style down the road, not to worry! Many designers have come up with a solution: The convertible backpack! There are many bags out there that can switch from a normal handbag to a backpack with just a pull of a strap as well as purses with detachable backpack straps that you can use or remove as you please!

While we will truly miss the Paige backpack by Melie Bianco that we sold out of a few months back, Just Jane Boutique will soon have something equally as adorable and versatile: The Slingpak by Mad Style! This bag will convert from hobo, to sling, to backpack, making it three different style bags in one! It will be available for shipment within the next month, but don’t miss out on your chance to pre-order it in red or black on our website! This backpack/hobo combo won’t last long…
